Khaptad faces graft slur

The Commission for the Investigation of Abuse of Authority (CIAA) on Thursday seized all the documents related to Khaptad Area Tourism Development Committee suspecting misappropriation of a huge amount of government fund. The CIAA suspects that millions of rupees allocated by the government has been misused. “As of now, the government has allocated Rs. 100 millions, but it seems they have hardly spent two hundred thousands,” said an investigation officer. The commission has formed a three-member probe team headed by Naresh Bahadur Shah to investigate the alleged irregularities. “We will publicise the details after returning from Khaptad,” said Shah.
